Yuri Kwag is a Seoul-born, Los Angeles-based composer who creates music designed not just to be heard, but to be experienced. Her work focuses on supporting the emotional threads of a story with care and empathy, creating music that breathes with a scene and reveals what lies beneath silence and words.

Drawing on classical orchestration, experimental synthesis, and influences from traditional Korean music, she creates sound worlds that serve narrative rather than genre. Her work includes the feature film Fairy and League of Legends Champions Korea. She has also worked closely with composer Rob Simonsen on major studio productions including Elio, Deadpool & Wolverine, and It Ends With Us. She is 2025 The ASCAP Foundation Michelle and Dean Kay Award winner, and was selected as a 2025 cohort member of the VIFF Composer Filmmaker Accelerator.…Yuri Kwag is a Seoul-born, Los Angeles-based composer who creates music designed not just to be heard, but to be experienced.
